    Field solar is mostly to improve micro-climate in hot summers. Plants close their pores if temperature is too hot, air too dry. They stop growing then and focus on survival, which can also negatively affect the produce otherwise. For example, european vegetables + fruits have short shelf life this year, aside from less of it. Solar panels hold back humidity and give some shade, while also cooling a bit.
